The latest technologies shock the world - they offer us robots, unmanned vehicles, or floating isolated cities. But what about us, the common people, who are burdened by everyday life problems, are annoyed by minor troubles that could have been avoided with the help of new inventions?
Rejoice! Finally, the scientific community turned its eyes to the domestic sphere and presented useful inventions that make life easier for the average person. On the one hand, we could, and even somehow adapted to live without these developments. On the other hand, at an affordable price, we get units that save a valuable resource - time.
So, we will consider 10 unique modern developments for our convenience.
10. Steel tablets for cooling
The problem of liquid cooling with ice is as old as the world. Melt water dilutes the drink, which spoils its gastronomic properties. Other methods were found - special thick-walled glass goblets that are cooled in the freezer and keep the temperature low for a long time. But the development did not touch elegant wine glasses. And here we are offered innovative stainless steel balls that do not need to be filled with water. Just chill in the freezer and add a “pill” of inert metal to any drink, including only boiled coffee or tea. Steel does not rust and does not oxidize, and the maintenance is very simple - it can be washed with a detergent, as well as in a dishwasher. The “thermal balls" acquire the cooling properties in just 1 hour, which once again compares them favorably with ice.
9. Super plasticine
Outwardly and in consistency, the innovative material resembles classic plasticine - soft, plastic, elastic. But then it dries up, forming a very durable rubber, which keeps the temperature from - 60 ° to + 180 ° Celsius. The purpose of superplasticine is different: children's crafts, "sealing" of damaged things and devices instead of electrical tape, ensuring the convenience of household items. The last quality can be considered as follows: we roll out a cake from superplasticine, which, as it hardens, will serve the hostess as a tack for hot. The material sticks to any surface, does not allow moisture to pass, hardens per day at room temperature, can be removed from the glued surface with a knife or sandpaper, does not fade.
8. Balls for warming up
In contrast to the cooling designers came up with special warming balls that can be actively used during camping trips and outdoor recreation. The base metal this time is not steel, but aluminum. To heat up liquid food or drinks, simply place pulsating balls in a bowl. Electromagnetic induction and the resulting vibrations will cause the devices to move independently. The number of balls used will depend on the desired degree of heating and the volume of the container. According to the inventor’s concept, in the future it will be possible to control using a smartphone, programming the heating time. This way we will avoid the abuse of the microwave.
7. Wi-Fi handle
For modern fashionable youth, such a high-tech gizmo is a real gift. You can draw and write anything to her, after which the read information is downloaded via the Internet to the “cloud”. Also, the fashionable gadget has a built-in microphone that records voice, acting as a portable voice recorder for notes. Of course, to use the device you need to purchase special paper on which dot-markers are applied. Their camera pens and reads, calculating the coordinates. The initial version with 2 Gigabytes of memory will cost the buyer $ 170, and the extended version up to 4 Gig can save you only 250.
6. Phone cap
We will not say that this device greatly facilitates life and eliminates worries, but it can become a trendy decoration for a mobile. In addition, it is functional, as it protects the audio jack from moisture, dirt and dust. The thing fits all modern mobile devices, tablets, e-books and other gadgets. The usual plugs on the market have been replaced by newfangled ones in the form of lying animals, shiny stones, funny faces, etc. We think iPhone lovers will appreciate the fresh trend - and it’s convenient to take such a thing at sea, because fine sand often gets into the audio output.
5. Suitcase room
Designers Roberto and Antonio Scarponi surprised consumers with a unique design that really deserves attention. Their “wanted” project is a suitcase room. A person acquires a large red suitcase, in which four square meters of “organized space” are compactly placed, or rather materials for assembling a lamp, a screen, a chair, a table, a bed and even a wardrobe. A relatively small suitcase allows you to arrange a personal place in any area, wherever you are. It seems that the amazing 4-part tent of “Harry Potter”, which can accommodate the whole house, no longer seems such a “magical” invention.
4. Jelly rag for cleaning hard-to-reach spots
Business people will appreciate the invention, which allows you to get to the most dirty and inaccessible areas. Also, a jelly rag has bactericidal properties, removing more than 90% of harmful microorganisms. The product is a moist viscous mass with a flavor. You just put it on a dusty area (for example, the keyboard or the stove of a car), press it a little and wait a couple of tens of seconds. Next, smoothly remove the rag. You can apply it several times until it changes color, but washing is not recommended. Of course, such a rag will not remove greasy and old hard stains, but it will greatly facilitate cleaning, and even produce an antibacterial effect. Keep the product tight and away from hot appliances.
3. A cup that squeezes tea bags
The real dream is for an office worker who drinks fast brewed tea regularly. It is not good to stain the workplace with napkins, coasters and drops, so you can buy a fashionable device. The handle of the cup is designed in such a way that it allows you to draw a tea bag into it and squeeze it well from the rest of the drink. Next, the thread from the bag just wraps around the handle, and absolutely nothing in the cup prevents you from enjoying the aromatic drink.
2. A lowercase pen under the stave
Scientists also pleased music lovers with a convenient invention called Noligraph. School students can now save nerves and time by drawing perfectly straight lines of the stave using a special pen. It consists of 5 cores, allowing you to draw the necessary parallel lines for notes at a time. Noligraf accelerates and simplifies the application process, and the design of the handle allows you to change the inscribed rods. By the way, now they are really inventing really fashionable and elite noligraphs, and they can even offer a personalized gift option.
1. Dream control mask
A lucid dream is a dream of many people, because then at any moment we will be able to take power into our own hands and redirect it in the right direction, just like in virtual reality. We will be able to escape from the pursuers, complete the story of love in colors, and visit the outlandish corners of the planet. Developer Stephen Laberge approached such a dream by developing a mask for managing dreams. A soft device is worn over the eyes before going to bed, after which it reads the movement of the pupils under the eyelids in the REM phase. The device informs a person with a soft light indication or sound that a dream is now dreaming. The mask can be flexibly customized. And in the Pro version, notification with the help of the given music is possible.
These are the amazing things scientists have presented to us in recent years. Technological progress is developing, we can already try to control dreams. It's only the beginning!
